Ten

Saturday. To sleep soon enough after ten to awaken at five-thirty and listen to the news after taking the blood pressure, which again came in good on the Omron meter and ten points lower on the Lazle.

Up at the usual time to walk to breakfast under foggy skies, the weather people saying it will clear up and reach seventy degrees later and so on to the restaurant in a decent mood to settle in at my table and start on the but two papers. The delivery man left me two copies of the Chronicle and no New York Times. Not sure what logic leads him to always leave the extra paper when this happens.

The chicken-apple sausage, scrambled eggs, country potatoes, toast, fruit cup and coffee, finishing up well before nine with the indoor dining area full of diners (I'd been the only one yesterday) to head out walking home to take the usual set of pictures, the sky clear, the sun quite bright, the fog now gone.

Home to take the selfie in the lobby, settle down at the computer, post yesterday's entry, process the morning pictures and start here by eleven.

Later. Watched the Georgia-Tennessee game on television starting around noon to then take a walk with a camera down to the lake during the halftime intermission and discover a Save The Sudan demonstration just up on Grand and so took pictures. A little tired for such a short excursion, but nice to actually do some shooting, although more time and attention would have allowed them to turn out better.

On then to the white column pergola to take a couple of more pictures before returning to the apartment and discover the Georgia-Tennessee game was just starting on the second half and so watched it off and on through to the end while processing this afternoon's few photographs.

Evening. Nothing I wanted to watch on television and so to bed early, but not getting to sleep until well after ten.

The photo up top was taken in October 2015 at the Oakland Museum of California with a Nikon D4s mounted with a 70-200mm f 2.8 VR II Nikkor lens.
